Cardboard and Pom Pom Soccer Game

Are you watching the World Cup? Hubby's been keeping track of the games, but Chuck and I haven't been paying too much attention to the scores. However, because it's soccer season, I still felt inspired to make something soccer-related. So that's why I crafted this mini cardboard and pom pom soccer game for us to play.

This DIY cardboard game was super easy and fun to make and play. Here's how I put everything together...

Let's Make a Cardboard and Pom Pom Soccer game!

1. I cut out a large rectangle from a nice piece of cardboard. (If you have larger pieces lying around, I definitely recommend using those. We made our game a bit too small for it to be really challenging.)

2. Then, I cut out four thin, rectangular pieces of cardboard. They were all the same width, and their lengths roughly matched the sides of the larger rectangle. ( To ensure that all your pieces fit, stand them upright before painting to to make sure they all fit on the board. I ended up trimming quite a bit off of my two shorter pieces so they would sit snuggly between the two longer rectangular pieces.)

3. I cut out two goalie holes from the two shorter pieces of cardboard.

4. I used craft paint to paint all the pieces. Once my paint dried, I used a sponge brush to apply Mod Podge to my pieces. This was REALLY IMPORTANT because it protected my paint job from spit. (Straws = a lot of spit)
